Xia Shu is so aggressive, not only surprised Xu Ping, but other ministers even more. 3. The fastest

Xu Ping is an lonely minister, not a member of the masses, and everyone is used to having conflicts with others. Anyway, Xu Ping is very sensible in his work. Even if there are conflicts, it is only limited to official affairs, and it will not be too intense. In the eyes of others, he just talks about the matter.

Xia Feng was different. He had many thoughts, was regarded as treacherous, and had many good officials in the court. Now the influential and close relationship with Xia Feng in the court were Sheng Du, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, the censor Zhiza Pang Ji, the Song Dynasty, and the Song Qi, the judge of the imperial edict. Before the brothers of Song and Song were accepted, Xia Feng was the prefect of their hometown Anzhou, and he had the kindness of knowing the two. Moreover, Xia Feng had outstanding literary talent and was respected by the brothers of Song and Song. Being targeted by Xia Feng was much more serious than being opposed by Xu Ping.

Seeing that he could no longer remain silent, Zhang Shixun exhaled heavily and said, "Dangxiang is not a minister. In recent years, whether it is the generals and ministers in the border areas, there are many officials. Does Yuan Hao have any rebellion? To be honest, there are naturally some, and the Privy Council is in charge of the secrets, so he is naturally aware of this. But will he really rebel if there is rebellion? That may not be necessary. As long as there is one in ten thousand chance, the court still hopes that Yuan Hao can wake up, change his past, and give him peace in the northwest!"

Xia Qian said sinisterly: "What if Yuan Hao refused to repent in the end? What if he had to become more serious? What should he do?"

Zhang Shixun sighed: "Do your people and do your best, and the Privy Council has done its best. If Yuan Hao is really ambitious and refuses to turn back and do good, what can he do? At that time, he had to prepare for war, save money and food, and strictly guard the border defense!"

"Hey, when Weiliang was sent back to Dangxiang in that mountain, the entire clan must be killed by Yuan Hao. Wouldn't it be unjustly killed in vain? Just because the Privy Council hopes for a barbarian chief of the foreign country and has the heart to be kind, there are dozens of lives."

Han Yi said: "In the face of national affairs, how can the lives of dozens of foreign people be taken into account? Besides, the foreigners and Hu have always been capricious. If you don't leave Shan to meet Wei Liang and others, it is not easy to make trouble. If you keep him, it will be difficult to settle them. Let them be in the border state army to prevent the future difficulties and let them come to the mainland, but they are unwilling to do so. It is better to settle the whole family and return to Dangxiang. As for what you have to do after you go back, you can only leave it to fate."

Xia Sheng smiled and said, "It's true! The Privy Council felt that it was troublesome to deal with it, so he pushed it to the lower level, so that they could die. Privy Council, the officials of the Western Palace, could they act like this with the salary of the court? Right is right, wrong is wrong, and how should things be handled as they should be handled. How could they be completely pushed just because they were afraid of trouble?"

Sheng Du, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Xia Neihan's words make some sense, and the previous disposal is really a bit hasty."

Zhang Shixun glanced at Sheng Du and said, "What if I don't do this? If I force myself to stay in the mountains and meet Weiliang, Yuan Hao might use this as an excuse to launch an invasion. However, Shaanxi lacks military strength and has little money and food, how can it withstand the war?"

After hearing Zhang Shixun's words, Xu Ping stood up and said, "Shuxiong, if you say this, the officials will not agree. If sending back to Shan Yuweiliang is just a temporary solution, then what will the Privy Council arrange in the future? It is impossible to see any of them at all. If Yuan Hao takes the opportunity to raise troops for such a small matter, then there will be such opportunities in the future! It can even be said that he can use this excuse to raise troops, but he is determined to rebel against the Song Dynasty. It doesn't matter whether there is an excuse. If the Privy Council is Zhenru Shuxiong, he thinks that it is not impossible to sacrifice Shan Yuweiliang and others to delay the military. But after doing this, he will select soldiers and generals, strictly guard against the northwest, and transport money and grain to Shaanxi Road to prepare for war. But if these are completely gone, what explanation will be given?"

Zhang Shixun said slowly: "Although Dangxiang has acted as an unjust minister, he may not necessarily rebel. It is reasonable to work for things that are not acceptable. Dangxiang's country is a small country, and the court is justified in watching the changes."

Xu Ping felt nothing to say for a moment, and after a while, he said: "Sending the mountain to meet Weiliang's clan, it is not just this matter, but also many similar things. The Privy Council said that he was afraid that Yuan Hao would rebel. He wanted to increase troops to Shaanxi and save more money and grain, and said that Yuan Hao might not rebel. The Privy Council, has the Privy Council figured out whether Yuan Hao would rebel?"

Xia Xun said: "The best thing in the world is that there may be, or there may be no. Sometimes it is possible, and sometimes it is possible when there is no. It is exactly what the Privy Council said to Dangxiang at this time. In fact, to put it bluntly, the officials in charge of the government are persevering and just want to live by the way. Whether or not the Dangxiang is against or not, in the Privy Council, it depends only on whether to make changes to the political affairs. As long as the political affairs remain unchanged, what is the matter for Yuanhao to do to the Privy Council officials?"

Xia Shixun's qualifications are far from comparable to Xu Ping. No matter how sharp he speaks, Zhang Shixun and Han Yi can only listen. Who can let someone take over now? Zhang Shixun is not stupid. Of course, he can also see what Xia Shu can see. But if he doesn't sit in that seat, he doesn't know how difficult it is to deal with it. It is precisely because of the Privy Council that Zhang Shixun knew that the current situation of the imperial guards is not optimistic and cannot fight a big battle at all. If he has the confidence to be invincible, who would be so cowardly from a small foreign country. If he doesn't accept it, he will always be punished and obedient and obedient as Maoer. But now the imperial guards cannot fight, what should I do if I let the Privy Council? If I really have a stalemate with Dangxiang, if the war is not effective, I will still vent my anger on these Western Prefectures.

The root cause is actually because of lack of confidence in the combat power of the imperial guards, so the actions of the Privy Council look particularly ridiculous in the eyes of others, and have no position at all, and everything is sluggish. For Zhang Shixun and others, they actually know that Yuan Hao will rebel sooner or later, but they can still delay it for one day. If something happens to change, such as a civil strife in Dangxiang, Yuan Hao can't rebel? At that time, the far-sightedness of the Privy Council and others is revealed. Sending the Shanyu Weiliang clan back seems ridiculous, but the Privy Council does not have its own intention. Shanyu is a large clan of Dangxiang, with many people lying in high positions in Dangxiang, and the clan has a large population and strong power. If Shanyu Weiliang is killed by Yuan Hao after returning, it will inevitably be a feud with the Shanyu clan. It is hard to say what changes will happen. The energy of civil strife to restrain Yuan Hao is exactly what the Privy Council wants to do.

However, this reason is really impossible to say. If you lose all the face of the court, you will probably arouse more opposition. Zhang Shixun simply pretends to be crazy and stupid. No matter what you say, it will just push it away in various postures.

Xu Ping vaguely guessed Zhang Shixun's thoughts. In fact, it was not just Zhang Shixun. Many ministers in the court now advocated appeasement of Dangxiang. The main reason was that they had no confidence in the combat power of the imperial guards. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Zhao Jiqian rebelled against Song and lured Cao Keming's father Cao Guangshi, and attacked Yinzhou to establish himself. The war was delayed for many years, and it was impossible to wipe out Dangxiang until the reign of Emperor Zhenzong. In the end, they could only seek peace. The imperial guards were worse than one year, and the generals were worse than the other, which was the consensus of officials in the court. The military strength of the imperial guards was far from comparable to that of Emperor Taizong. Famous generals had long withered, and Dangxiang's strength was stronger day by day. Zhao Yuanhao surpassed his Jiqian and Deming. No matter how he could not fight, he could only delay it day by day and live a life of vain.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Ping suggested that the military system should be changed and the military should be consolidated. Only when his own army can fight can he say that everything is up to me and have the final say with the war. But now that the military system cannot be reformed, it is also cowardly involved in foreign affairs related to the army. If you don’t change this situation, what’s the use of no amount of money or food?
